General Notes: The notes below were taken from research done by Mamie Joyce (Jones) Logue:
As told to me by my 1st cousin, Billy Jones, (Oral Family History) John Jones originally came from Wales but was serving in the Military in England when England sent troops into Ireland. He was so lenient with them, there were charges against him, so he deserted and fled to America. ironically, shortly after his arrival into this country, the Revolutionary War started. He was lilving in Charleston, Souch Carolina. Since he did not want to be captured by the English and returned to England for trial for deserting he hid out in the mountains of South Carolina and is reported to have died there. There is conflicting information concerning when and where Joh Jones died. Another source lists the place of death as Livingston County, Kentucky and the year as 1811. I have not been able to verify which is correct at this time, but I tend to agree with the 1811 date and Livingston County, Kentucky as the place of death. Sarah Sally was buried in Livingston County, Kentucky in 1856. At the time he came to America, he traveled with two brothers, Joseph and Wilson Jones.
It has been said that he and his family came to Kentucky with Daniel Boone. According to history, the group of five families which Daniel Boone let to Kentucky on the "Wilderness Trail" was in 1784 and sources idicate his son Samuel B. Jones was born in Laurens County, South Calorlins in 1799. This needs to be checked. From oral family history I understand the story is that John Jones and William Andrew Jones made the trip to Kentucky with Daniel Boone (not sure of the year) but the family did not move until they returned. Rebecca stayed in South Carolina while they made this trip. Also, his last three children were not even born at that time and they show as being born in Laurens County, South Carolina. It appears to me the earliest they could have migrated to Kentucky as after 1800. Other family history says theyb only stayaed in Kentucky for one year then moved on to Tennessee but we now know at least part of the family stayed in Kentucky much longer than than. Theyb sho up on Livingston County, Kentucky tax lists as early as 1807 but by 1810 there is onlyl an Andres Jones. (Do not know if this was William Andres or Andres Jolly) but Andrew Jones is listed through 1811.
There is an indenture for an Andrew Jones, Abbeyville County, South Carolina (next to Laurens County, South Carolina) April 26, 1785, No. 530, Book C: 9 pounds, 11 Shillings, 5 pence duty as private under Capt. Joseph Calhouns 1779 & 1783: (This information is not verified as being our John (Andrew) Jones but could be.) William Andrew Jones would only have been 5 years old at the time.

Notes for Sarah Jolly:
Sarah "Sally" Jolly is probably a cousin of David Jolly. They were in the same general location at the same time during the late 1700's to early 1800's: David named one of his daughters Sarah Sally Jolly:
Absolute proof of this has not been found at this time.
